Major League Baseball has slightly increased its offer to the players as the two sides continue to negotiate an agreement for the delayed 2020 season. The owners’ latest proposal calls for a 72-game regular season with players receiving 80 percent of their prorated salaries – 70 percent during the regular season and 10 percent more for completion of the postseason. Games would begin on
July 14 under this proposal.
The league’s previous offer called for 76 regular-season games with players to receive 75 percent of their prorated salaries, though the union has maintained its stance that players should earn a full rate of their prorated pay.
